Current Sermon Series
October 11, 2026
Ephesians 6:10-17a will be our text for study, learning, and application this week. We will focus particularly on the last verse as we continue examining Paul's famous metaphor for the Christian life: the armor of God. Paul shows great intentionality when selecting a spiritual discipline or theological topic and then matching it with a piece of armor. The breastplate for example symbolizes right relationship (righteousness). As we all know, living in right relationship with God and others is the best way to protect our hearts. So this week we will examine the "Helmet of Salvation" and why Paul matches 'salvation' with something that protects our heads, our brain, our mind. How do we put on the helmet of salvation? And what is Paul calling us to as a community of faith with this armor piece? Please join me this Sunday as we continue studying Ephesians, sharing in joyful worship, excellent music, meaningful fellowship, and more.
